Of course THEY want to have Nintendo, they'd want Sony if they could straight up buy them

But if I remember right, Nintendo have a war chest so large that they'd laugh in the face of any attempt at buying them. They also have franchises doing extremely well compared to the failures of other studios and have a stranglehold on the Japanese Market where Microsoft failed to gain a significant foothold.

This sounds like either and intern fucked up a leak they were supposed to do or gaming media trying to stir some drama for clicks. Either way the response will be the same from Nintendo: "lol!"
